ABOUT PRODUCTID 1689
This rectangular Art Deco tray, produced by Norblin & Co. in Warsaw in the 1920s, exemplifies the restrained, modernist elegance of its era. The body is crafted from white brass and silver-plated, giving it a cool, silvery-white tone and a mirror-like surface. The absence of ornamentation highlights the geometric, minimalist lines: softly rounded corners, a wide flat rim gently sloping toward the center, and balanced proportions. The distinctive handles are made of dark, smoothly finished ebony wood, mounted on simple metal brackets that echo the streamlined aesthetic. With dimensions of 47 × 29.5 cm and a height of 3 cm, the tray is practical and easy to use, while the slightly extended handles facilitate carrying. The condition is very good: the surface shows only subtle signs of age typical for authentic pieces from the period, with no major damage or dents. The form of this tray tells the story of the 1920s, when modernism met the understated luxury of daily life. The austerity of silvery metal and the depth of ebony create a quiet dialogue between function and refinement: the simplicity of line embodied a response to the pace of modern living, while the noble materials offered a discreet nod to past sophistication. Each reflection on the smooth surface evokes the urban rhythm of interwar Warsaw, when everyday objects possessed their own subtle presence. This tray would integrate beautifully into Art Deco-inspired, modernist, or eclectic collector interiors. It could be paired with geometric period porcelain, glass decanters, or minimalist tableware—especially on an oak or veneered table, where its silvery sheen will highlight the richness of wood grain. Consider combining it with a metal-based lamp or a
